iOS Swift - QR Code

In my app I need to implement the feature such as that available in Blackberry Messenger, i.e. user can add another user by scanning their QR code.

I found libraries out there that can help generate QR codes and also threads here to help with that. What I am unable to conceptualize is this: When a friend comes to scan my QR code, how can the application recognize that this QR code scanned is related to that person in the service database? I read that QR codes hold information up to 1800 characters or so. My question is, when I scan the QR code, will i get the stream of information from the scanner or does it work in some other way?

Thanks for helping out in advance.

You can use CIDetector which will give you CIQRCodeFeature objects, containing the message as a string.
